Hi am new to diabetes can any 1 tell me if my diabetes is boarder line fasting test wa 52 not to sure thanks
 
Hi Carole, welcome to the forum. Was the test an HBA1c? I think that a score of over 48 for that is diagnosed as diabetes. WhT has your doctor said?

Hi Carole, welcome to the forum 🙂 As others have said, 52 is a little on the elevated side of things, ideally you would be at 48 or below. The reason for this is that once you start going higher than 48 your risk of complications can increase, so it's well worth working to reduce the level. Have you been given any medication and any advice on how to manage your blood glucose levels?
 
Hi stephmits yes was HBA1,c had one in Nov and was then 48, tried so hard to bring it down lost stone in weight but had gone to 52 last week I was eating fair amount of fat which seemed to help with sugar levels when testing but after seeing GP again last week he gave me tabs have lost almost another 5lb this week do hoping will be better results when I see him in ,6 weeks time keep reading bit all bit confusing at Mo how long have u had dibetes step
 
Ty you all for you replies was told not to eat cakes and sweet things but nurse at surgery was more help full so at Mo muddling through...reading lots but some things seem to contradict each other
 
Just cut out 'empty' carbs.
 
Hi Carole and welcome to the forum. You can get lots of advice on here. Certainly reducing your carb intake and walking or any other exercise you can manage should help make a difference. It's useful to check your blood sugar levels before and after meals to see that you're keeping on track. Not many type 2s get a meter and strips provided but the SD Codefree is one of the cheapest to use.
